AUTUMN BEGINs.-Nothng perhaps more
emphatically indicates the beneficence OF
creative wisdom says an exchange. than the
gradual changes wherewith the seasons sue
coed one another. Each one is marked by
its own peculiarities, bringing its own j9ys
or hardships and blessings, but all come in
due order and by approaches that daily pre-
pare for the work to be accomplished. AT
ter the prodigious growth of summer with
its reaolvent warmth and often terrible
storms, slowly and gently comes the grad.
ual descent 10 the cooler temperature and
the death of vegetable life. September
comes before us with smiling invitations to
enjoy its temperate air, and the changing
tiEts of the forests its pleasant evenings,
and its refreshing slumbsr. 1t is the hus-
bandmans seed time, the merchants period
for selecting and displaying his wares. The
schools begin their important work of in
structiou. The orchards ripen their fruits,
the vineyards furnish their clusters of de-
licious grapes. Everywhere abound the
evidences of the rich provisions of nature
for the sustenance and comfort of it's crea
lures. September is the lovely resting place
where we forget the trials ofthe summers

to meet the storms of later autumn and chill

prossuess of Southern manners Such rude

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR HAGGAID.-Consul
Baker. st Buenos Ayres, has made n long and in
tcrcsting report to the State Department giving
substance, the resnlts of recent explorations in
Terra del F'ucgo. Contrary to common belief,
founded upon reports of early navigators who
failed to penetrate the interior, the archipelago
contains valuable farming lands, forests and min
eral deposits. 1t is peopled by two distinct races
of savages, one being well formed and remarkably
strong subsisting chiefly by the chase, the other
coast people, physically inferior, but not deficient
in intelligence. An English missionary, with his
family, has made his home among th,m for the
last twenty-five years, and under his tntelage tho
natives are acquiring some of the habits and GUS
toms of civilization. The Argentine government
is taking steps to coonze and develop the islands,
A governor has been appointed, and thorough
scientific exploration is to be undertaken.

President Porter took spin on Lake

The noted scholar often makes shell

President Porter was rowing up the lake
one afternoon, and but little way be-
hind him were two pretty girls strug.
Cling with the oars. The two Freshmen
came rowing up behind, and nothing
but the Presidents back being visible,
one of them very flippantly shouted out:
Say, old man, why don't you take the
girls in tow?" The students soon after
rowed into the boa:-house. Their re-
mark was heard by the boat-housc pro-
prietor, who said to them: Young
men, do you know who that old gentle
man was you shouted at?' NO." they
answered, in 4 nonchalant sort of way
"Wcll, that was President Porter" The
feelings of the smart young men as they
quickly escaped from the boat-house can

Cowboys aHd Ponies.

The old-time idea that he was the
best cowboy who returned from hunt
with his horses the poorest and their
backs the most extensively bruised and
skinned. has exploded. SAYS the Stock
n.Gn. OF Miles City, and stockmon now
want men who can take care of horses
rs well as ride :henl hard when neces-
sary. There was time when a wboy
thought it disgrace to return from q
months work with his string Of horses
in 4 condition tit 10 be used without
rest. whether he had had anv particli-
larry hard work to do or not; hence &c
made il 4 point TO ride hard, regardless
Of the necessity OF doing so. If relieved
from guard TO 90 10 dinner he must so
at full speed TO camp and jerk his horse
up suddenly while on dead run when
he reached the camp. He did the same
when he returned from camp to the
herd or from one place to another. But
that time is passed. and the demand is
now for men who can ride hard when
necessary and at other times favor their
horses and keep them in condition TO dc
good work when there is a rush. About
the easiest way Tor 4 cowboy 10 get dis
charged in this country is 10 display .
well-developed habit of dashing his
horses about unnecessarily. run them fif-
teen miles 10 town and back during a
night when the roundup party is camp
cd that near. Just for the purpose of
making night of it. or to leave them
where the grass is poor just because it
would be Il little more trouble TO put
them on good feed. This is as it should
be, for, rot considering the humane side
OF TIE question, Tie maintaining of good
COW horses forms no inconsiderabie part
of ii cowman's expenses, and lie should
expect the same care on the part of his
riders in saving horse flesh rs he does
in his general manager i'll econoHl;zing
in other expenses. This docs not mean
that horses must not be ridden out Of 8
walk. 1t simply means that when Il IS
not necessary ~ ride ha:d 70 properly
work the herd, horses must rot be-
abused and dashed about just for The
fun of the thing. The genuine cowboy
ought to have that manly admiration
for his horse that charactcrizcs every
true hCiseiIian, and he should never
hesitate 10 ride as hard and As long rs
occasion requires. lie should OF his
own pleasure avoid the abuse of good
horse by unnecessary hard riding C
